NPA Art Centre

The Northern Peninsula Area Arts Centre (NPA Arts Centre) is located in the vibrant Aboriginal community of New Mapoon, approximately 40 kilometres from the Tip of Cape York Peninsula, the northernmost point of the Australian continent.

The Centre represents artists from the five communities that make up the Northern Peninsula Area: the three Aboriginal communities of Injinoo, Umagico, and New Mapoon, along with the Torres Strait Islander communities of Bamaga and Seisia.

Situated in close proximity, these diverse communities provide a rich source of cultural inspiration. Artists draw deeply from the land, sea, family and cultural connections, language, and traditional stories handed down through generations via song and dance.

As the only arts centre in the Northern Peninsula Area, the NPA Arts Centre is dedicated to promoting, preserving, and empowering the creative talents of local artists. Its mission is to harness and showcase the region’s vibrant cultural diversity through art.

Of the North, For the North

We work to support artists achieve their aspirations. Artists set their prices and we add a standard service and marketing commission - this supports our not-for-profit programs and allows us to continually turn over the highest-quality artistic products.

Most artworks are one-offs and completely original in the iconic style of that artist; with the exception of intaglio and relief prints, which the organisation is renowned for. Check out our selection of limited-edition fine art printmaking.

Over 95% of the artists we support are from North Queensland. We work with both independent artists and those represented by commercial dealers and art centres.
